Where are podocytes seen?
epithelium of real capsule
Where are podocytes found in the human body?
In the glomerulus of the kidney.
What are foot cells?
foot cells or podocytes which are found in nefhrons
What call to gaps between pedicles of the podocytes?
Filtration slits
Which layer of the bowmans capsule do the special cells known as podocytes belong?
visceral
What cells form a porous membrane surrounding the endothelial cells of the glomerulus?
podocytes
What is the cell that make up filtration membrane in Bowman's capsule?
Nephron in the kidneys. Technically, Bowman's capsule contains the glomerulus.
The filtration membrane of the kidneys include all the following except aglomerular endothelium b podocytes c renal fascia d basement membrane?
Renal fascia
What is gap between pedicles of podocytes called?
Filtration Slits. They allow water, glucose, vitamins, amino acids, small plamsa proteins, ammonia, urea, and ions to pass.
The filtration membrane includes all except?
The filtration membrane includes the glomerular endothelium, podocytes, and basement membrane. The only thing it doesn't include is the renal fascia.
What are the layers in the renal corpuscle through which filtrate must pass to enter the capsular space?
The renal corpuscle filtration barrier is composed of: the fenestrated endothelium of glomerular capillaries, the fused basal lamina of endothelial cells and podocytes, and the filtration slits of the podocytes.
Where are the capillaries in the excretory system?
The capillaries in the excretory (urinary) system are called glomeruli. They filter out waste out of the blood through a series of fenestrations (holes), basement membrane and podocytes which have long thin fingers that keep the larger molecules from escaping.
